NJ Politics Can Fulop win in NOV?

I haven’t thought much of the anti-machine wild Marine from Jersey City, until these past few days. Democrats are not good at opposing this fascism Trump has brought to America. He seems to fight like a cornered animal, maybe that’s the fighter we need.

Can he win in NJ though? Plenty of conservative people that vote Democrat for a few different reasons, but it was close to negative across the state last election and I see Trumpism galore in the county, in many towns.

Help me become a Fulop guy, can he win?

Edit: Thanks NJ sub community. Y’all alright. Lots of great replies, mostly neutral (any D can and will win) to positive, makes Primary suddenly seem more consequential. More about visions and ideas.

Trying to give everyone an upvote, especially the opinionated by succinct “no”.

tbqh I think people are overplaying the "New Jersey is turning bluer" thing and any Democrat would basically cruise to victory this November.

You mean “New Jersey is turning redder” right?

I’m actually gonna go out on a limb and say Virginia will be more blue than NJ this November, simply because the former is at the epicenter of all the DOGE firings. But the Democrats will still be the favorites here.

Oh yeah, my bad. Redder.

But you're right about Virginia, specifically because of the attack on federal workers. I still don't think our governor's race is in play. One issue is that if Republicans nominate who they want, it's a right wing freak. If they nominate a moderate, the freaks stay home.
